The wrappers had plenty of fiber, though.

That’s too bad. The parrot would have enjoyed the nuts and peanut butter.

And the paydays are disgusting.

I believe Almond Joy candy bars would be better without the nuts anyway. (And they’d be even better yet with dark chocolate instead of milk chocolate) [Then they could change the name to something like: All Mound Joy.]

Chuck them out, there’s no joy without the almonds.

Raise your hand, if you saw this coming.

None of that kept him from eating what was left.

So he’s just sitting there sucking the sugar out of everything.

Moondog will need to stock up again. He is going to be worn out digging by the time Halloween comes around.

Squirrels are always good for a laugh. So are ducks.

Now wonder they’re so bright-eyed and bushy-tailed.

So, Moondog was left NUTless ?

Back in the 1950s. Hershey’s discovered that almonds were cheaper than chocolate so they replaced some chocolate with the nuts and convinced many people the nuts were good to eat with their ads.

Buy twice as much as you think you can eat before the 31st.

So much for vows. Moondog is predictably weak, though in this case there has been some “inventory shrinkage,” blamed on squirrels….
